Python Alternative to .split() for generator/list
How can I add a new line after each object in my generator or list? I tried .join('\n') and that didn't work. Trying to split a newline won't work because that's not an attribute of the generator or list datatype.
My try with a generator = false to use a list using join:
a = conn.extend.standard.paged_search('cn = All.DL Div Controllers - National Group, ou = Distribution Lists, ou = Exchange, dc=google,dc=corpad,dc=net', '(objectClass=*)', attributes=['member'], generator=False)
b = map(str, a) #Stringify each a from generator
b_str = '\n'.join(b) #Join the list of b with a newline
with open ('test.txt', 'w') as file:
file.write(b_str) #Write to file
My output looks like this aaaa, aaaaa, aaaaaa,aaa,aaaaa,aaaaa
I want my output to look like this:
aaaa,
aaaaa,
aaaaaa,
aaa,
aaaaa,
aaaaa,
Here is my attempt using .split(), but it obviously wont' work as .split() is not an attribute of a generator or list datatype.
#a= conn.extend.standard.paged_search('cn = All.DL Div Controllers - National Group, ou = Distribution Lists, ou = Exchange, dc=google,dc=corpad,dc=net', '(objectClass=*)', attributes=['member'])
#for b in a.split('\n'):
# with open ('test.txt', 'w') as file:
# file.write (str(a))
The above is just an example the true output in the console including each print statement is the following:
Code:
national = conn.extend.standard.paged_search('cn = All.DL Div Controllers - National Group, ou = Distribution Lists, ou = Exchange, dc=google,dc=corpad,dc=net', '(objectClass=*)', attributes=['member'], generator=False)
print(national)
Output:

ok so national is a list of length 1. To get the object we care about, all you need to do is national_dict = national[0]. I called it this since national_dict is a dictionary, not a string.
To print out a nicely formatted dictionary, one option is to pretty print
from pprint import pprint
pprint(national_dict, width=100) # width defaults to 79
which outputs
{'attributes': {'member': ['CN=gji9847,OU=U02562,OU=02562,DC=google,DC=corpad,DC=net',
'CN=exx8092,OU=U06032,OU=06032,DC=google,DC=corpad,DC=net',

'CN=KVG6693,OU=U25692,OU=25692,DC=google,DC=corpad,DC=net',
'CN=JCL6495,OU=U01246,OU=01246,DC=google,DC=corpad,DC=net',

'CN=JKJ2421,OU=U01692,OU=01692,DC=google,DC=corpad,DC=net']},
'dn': 'CN=All.DL Div Controllers - National Group,OU=Distribution '

'raw_attributes': {'member': [b'CN=gji9847,OU=U02562,OU=02562,DC=google,DC=corpad,DC=net',

'raw_dn': b'CN=All.DL Div Controllers - National Group,OU=Distribution Lists,OU=Exchange,DC=goog'
b'le,DC=corpad,DC=net',
'type': 'searchResEntry'}
Is this sort of what you're looking for?
In order to pretty print to a file
import pprint
formatted = pprint.pformat(national_dict, width=100)
with open(filename, 'w') as fw:
fw.write(formatted)

Can you replace each comma with ",\n"?
b = str(a).replace(',',',\n')
